Facts ab tabu(predicate) youngster Labour We always compare children with flowers and butterflies because of their greenness virtues like innocence, ever present freshness and tension free lifestyle. We do not diverseiate between children and butterflies as far as their playfulness is concerned. We also consider our children as future pillars of our Nation. But the reality is stark opposite and very pathetic which will disturb any good hearted human of our society.Presently, about 11 crores children of age group 9 to 14 , are working as child labours.

If we as a society ignore these facts and neglect this situation, it may prove to be harmful to all of us.3.
